There have been a hell of a lot of comebacks recently, and as much as I want to review them all, I don't really have enough to say or enough time to post them seeing as I want them to still be of actuality when I post my review. With that in mind, I'm going to be reviewing 5 MVs today. Enjoy!
TWICE 'TT' - 3.5/5 kimchis
Despite the fact that this sounds like most girl groups in k-pop, this isn't actually too bad. It's one of those songs you hate to love. The MV is just generally weird and they're all dressed up in different costumes. Though I would like it if someone could explain to me what that choreo is all about? JYP didn't strain themselves too much finding that did they. Maybe one day a girl group with get a really good, full choreography that doesn't automatically make them look cute or sexy.
Block B 'My Zone' - 4.5/5 kimchis
This is very different compared to what Block B has previously released. It's a lot more funky that what they usually put out, but I do like it. It's refreshing and even though it's not the most original style in the world they pull it off very well. I don't understand why they decided to make it in Japanese, I mean, each to their own, I guess. I don't have too much to say about the MV, it's pretty basic box MV, though I have to say that they really don't look dressed appropriately for the kind of song they're singing. The choreography is on point and I shall be trying to learn it because daaaamn.
Monsta X 'Fighter' - 3/5 kimchis
I didn't expect to like this as much as I did. I mean, I love Monsta X and think they're going to be big, but by the time 'Stuck' was released I was getting a bit jaded with the whole "fighting, army, overcoming the elements" concept they had going. I decided to give it a listen anyway, and I was pleasantly surprised. It's got a good feel to it and it's a catchy song. I mean, I still am fairly sick of the concept, but the song as a separate entity is good. The choreo is also just really fucking good and really crisp.
SHINee '1 Of 1' - 2.5/5 kimchis
This is kind of bittersweet for me. I love SHINee, I think they're really great and talented and lovely, but it makes me sad to see that it really feels like SM have just thrown something at them to keep them busy so that they can focus on the newer and younger groups. It's got a very cliche, 80s vibe to it, that isn't really to my taste. I'm kind of pissed off in general because this just isn't a good comeback and I don't even think it's the boys' faults. The MV isn't particularly complex, just a simple box MV.
GOT7 - Hard Carry 2.5/5
I know I'm late to the party for this comeback but I still wanted to mention it as everyone is obsessed with it. Well... not quite everyone. I didn't not like it, the song is fairly catchy and the choreo is good too, I was just expecting, well, more. I was expecting something more epic, catchier, with a really complex and fluid dance. Because that's the impression everyone was giving off, and I just didn't get that. I actually found myself getting bored half way through, it seemed rather repetitive. The MV is also pretty banal. Like I said, it's not a bad comeback, but I don't think it's worth the hype everyone's giving it.
What are your thoughts on these comebacks? Let me know in the comments.
Fighting!
